We had tickets for 10:30a at Tower of London. I dislike any sort of line that lasts longer than 2 minutes, and this one was MASSIVE. I almost left but decided to give it a 5 minute chance and WOW. I was extremely impressed with how fast and efficient the staff processed the queue. Friendly staff. Great exhibits. Big fan of the ravens perched out at multiple stairways. Highly recommended. We started to get some rain, which I feel like positively affected our queue for the London Eye. The website advises to expect a 45ish minute queue and it had to have been less than 15 minutes. I appreciate that the Eye does not stop at each cart to let people on and off, keeping things moving.

Good value, it was great to have the two activities booked so easily. The tower of London was outstanding but beware we had to pay extra for the audio guide, but it was worth the few pounds extra. On the London eye, it was amazing but there were a few too many people in our pod. Tip get a place at the window at the end of the pod, If you sit on the bench your view gets blocked.

Everything went very well! Highly recommended! The earlier you book at the Tower of London, the shorter the waiting time to get to the crown jewels. We booked for 10am and went straight to the Treasury, we had no waiting time at all.London Eye FastTrack also great!

    With the exception of museums, activities in London are expensive and sometimes are not worth that much. That's not the case of these two visits, which are huge, historic and overall astonishing.

    The combination with the Tower and the bridge is great because both are close together. The Tower of London is very interesting and the audio guide is highly recommended. Allow enough time, the grounds are extensive. We never had to queue. Great view from the Tower Bridge.

    Towerbridge was an impressive visit with walking across the glass panels. In the Tower of London, the well-preserved buildings both outside and inside were very impressive.

    Tower of London

    Just a little off stop #16 on the Red route, the Tower of London feels less like a museum and more like stepping straight into a storybook. Cobblestone paths wind past ancient battlements, ravens perch in shadowy corners, and the White Tower rises with Norman strength. Inside, armour glints under dim light, while the Crown Jewels shimmer like captured starlight; 23,000 gems sparkling in regal silence. Between re-enactments, ghostly legends, and quiet courtyards, the fortress reveals a London where monarchy, mystery, and myth all blur into one.
